NovelEnglishKelvin tenses, his mouth parting in shock, unintentionally giving Leila more room to suck on his lower lip. His entire body shoots with pleasure from the softness of her lips, the tenderness of her kiss, goosebumps rent his entire skin and a million fireworks go off in his heart and he shuts his eyes, relishing it. Maybe he can have her, maybe he can have this. Now that she has kissed him, he cannot dodge the topic anymore, he will either have to claim her or clearly reject her.
He finds his hands slowly running down her back, all the way to her waist and he pulls her close hesitantly, wondering if he should break or deepen the kiss when he hears a soft growl behind them and he opens his eyes to see Tatum staring right at him. But it is not anger he sees in those grey eyes, it is sadness and pain, a dreary and gloomy look.
It is a look he knows all too well, a look he had in his eyes for years whenever he saw Leila and Tatum together. The pain of seeing someone you love with someone else is not something you can easily hide, it shines bright even behind the darkest eyes. Does this mean Tatum still loves Leila, will he want to claim her? From his little snooping around since he returned, Tatum is a much different Alpha and he now rules with an iron fist. The pack members are forbidden from mentioning Leila or the witch's murder, the ones who dared disobey met an unkind fate. He is now nicknamed Alpha Tatum the ruthless, a man who used to be Alpha Tatum, the kind.

Kelvin shifts his gaze from the dark nothingness and stares back at Leila, a million questions burning through his mind but only one stands out.
Is this kiss a show of her affection for him or simply to make Tatum jealous? He cannot deal with this, not now, he needs his mind fully focused on getting Liana out of Justin's grasps.
"I could sue you for harassment but that was skiss," He says in a light tone, not to embarrass her.
He doesn't know the reason for her kiss but he wants to be sure Leila is not so cruel to use him as a tool for vengeance.
Leila smiles and turns and he sees she is looking for Tatum.
"He's gone," Kelvin says, "off into the woods." His voice is calm, much like that of a stranger giving directions to another stranger.
"Good. I just want him completely gone from our lives, I want it to be just you andand Amara, as a family, a real family." "Are you sure?" Kelvin searches her eyes as he asks, his heart thudding slowly.

What does he say to her? No? That would be a lie, he is sure that he loves her and her daughter and that he wants to be a husband and father to them. Sometimes, he even forgets that he is not. Yes? That would also be a lie, the circumstances around it, the timing, Tatum's engagement to a woman he has shown no real intimacy in the pack after five years, this sudden accusation of Leila's mother...there is more to all of it.
"He's still your mate and Amara's father," he replies instead.
"I would have rejected him already but doing that now will expose Carmela and create unnecessary problems for us and as for Amara, he is nothing but her sperm donor, he wanted her dead, remember?" QUMS "I remember but we can't keep the truth away from her either." "I don't plan to," Leila takes his hand, looking at him with a longing in her eyes, "we'll tell her the truth when the tis right." "We will and I appreciate this,
knowing how you feel, but the timing The content sexo.com! is not in our favour. Right now, I have to focus on the task at hand
but I promise, after all of this, the we will talk Ewill case and your rejmiles at her, about it, agreed? He squeezing her hands gently, hoping she doesn't feel too bad.
"Agreed," Leila replies in a sullen tone and gently pulls her hands away from The hery ve his hold.
